Loveless by Alice Oseman
1.0
im shocked at how much i disliked this :/ it was a read i was excited about for so long.
i don’t particularly want to make a rant review on this, as it seems to be a very personal story to alice oseman, but at the same time i am also aro/ace and feel like i do have the right to critique aspects of this that i deeply disliked.
almost every character falls into a stereotype~ the nerdy shy quiet ace, the slutty pansexual, the angry lesbian~ and i was reading goodreads reviews of this and it looks like sunil and pip fall into race based stereotypes too.
im so sad at how this book treated rooney :/
it also makes me sad that this seems to be the default book for aro/ace rep. ngl i think it only has so much hype because it was written by alice oseman and she has written some incredible stories.
